Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. Its structure enables selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to the pyridine core’s favorable binding properties. Also utilized in organic synthesis to introduce fluorinated and chlorinated pyridine motifs, enhancing metabolic stability and lipophilicity in drug candidates.
